I look forward to hearing from our witnesses today and getting some answers to why this Administration continues to treat tribes as second-class citizens.

The fact that the Federal Government has continued to blast this area with human bone fragments of several tribes in the 21st century is, quite frankly, barbarous.

Congress must withdraw or at least better limit DHS's authority to unilaterally give itself waivers.

It is clear this Administration will not uphold its trust responsibility for tribes.

We urge Congress to exert its authority to protect our sacred sites.

When sacred cultural sites are destroyed in international conflict, it is considered a war crime.

The fact is that while the Federal agencies pay lip service to tribal consultation, there is precious little way for tribal governments to enforce current consultation policies.

there is no emergency rush to complete the wall across all 1,954 miles of the southern border.

The Administration's gaslighting argument of 'we have to destroy it, in order to protect it' is as plainly ridiculous as it is offensive.

the Administration feels political pressure to complete at least portions of the wall before the 2020 election.
